Arc tool
-
Hi, I am new to google sketchup, and thank you for being here to help me. I was working through the tutorial, and when I got to the arc request, I got an angle generated from my efforts instead of an arc. Is there something I have to preset?
Thanks,

Hi Akurat (Matt),
What tutorial were you following exactly?
And could you attach an image or the skp file of what you achieved? -
Hello again,
I looked at a post by gully about the arc tool, and took his advice, and I am generating arcs now!
Thank you,

Hi folks.
If you specify 2 sides for the arc, you will indeed get an angle.
This can be used as a trick to get a real fast 90° angle if you use the "Half circle" inference. Then, each side of the angle is at 45° from the axis of the angle. This is a qucik way of drawing roofs with a 45° slope. Add a base line to the arc to get a triangle and push it with the "Push/Pull" Tool. However, the apex will be smoothed and thus, will require unsmoothing.
Just ideas.
